Correct Answer is: (4) 39

Equiv. of HCl taken = 60 × 2 × 10–3

Equiv. of HCl present after the reaction = 20 × 1 × 10–3

∴ Equiv. of HCl utilized = 100 × 10–3

∴ 100 × 10–3 equiv. of metal carbonate = 6.90 gm

∴ 1 equiv. of metal carbonate

= 6.69/10-1 = 69 gm

∴ equiv. wt. of metal = 69 – 30 = 39

[becuase equiv. wt. of carbonate = 30]
